Anguilla Beaches

Anguilla is a beach island.  Sixteen miles long and not very wide (three miles at the widest point), in the narrowest places on the island you can actually walk from an Anguilla beach on one shore to a beach on the other in a couple of minutes!  Anguilla boasts 33 beaches, all of which are open to the public and absolutely picture-perfect, the kind of beaches you thought you could only dream about.  Below is a list of the best Anguilla beaches.
